  34 <PRE>&gt;&gt;<i>I think it would be nice to see a &quot;Last modif by&quot; when useing &quot;/msg
  35 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>chanserv access #channel list&quot;.
  36 </I>&gt;<i>
  37 </I>&gt;<i>     I'm not sure of the value of this compared to the amount of
  38 </I>&gt;<i>bookkeeping it would take.
  39 </I>&gt;<i>
  40 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>And another thing...this is more a question then a suggestion.
  41 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>We have problems with users takeing others nickname password.
  42 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>We enforced the use of an email adress when registering a nickname, but
  43 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>of course, first thing when somebody take a password is to change that
  44 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>address. So we don't have any sure way to check if the new password goes
  45 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>to the right address.
  46 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>
  47 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>And I was thinking...I know it may sound silly...but can we have a
  48 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>duplicate db with emails that can be changed just by services admins? Or
  49 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>any other way to secure this thing? Ideas? Suggestions? Thanx a lot.
  50 </I>&gt;<i>
  51 </I>&gt;<i>     Since users having their passwords taken almost certainly means they
  52 </I>&gt;<i>chose an easy-to-guess password, the right solution is to educate the
  53 </I>&gt;<i>users.  I don't see why Services should have to run through hoops to try
  54 </I>&gt;<i>and solve this problem.  (Of course, if your server is being
  55 </I>&gt;<i>packet-sniffed, then you have other problems altogether.)
  56 </I>
  57      Another thought just occurred to me: since Services logs the
  58 <A HREF="http://www.ircservices.za.net/mailman/listinfo/ircservices">user at host</A> mask used to register a nick, you can check your logs for the
  59 mask in use when the nick was registered, and compare that with the one
  60 in use currently.  I do think it would be reasonable to record the E-mail
  61 address used with the REGISTER (or SET EMAIL) command, so I'll look into
  62 doing that.
